Oceanic View Resort Experience : Affordable Hotels In South Goa

Goa, I one of my favoriteplaces to visit in India. It has beautiful beach life, wildlife sanctuaries, crazy parties, amazing fish food..everything that makes a nice vacation if you plan it well. ‘Hotels In South Goa‘ , its a series where I give my honest experience of the stay in Goa. I hope it will help you to plan your Goa trip. Lets get started.

It was my husband, Aditya’s choice to stay at Oceanic View Resort in South Goa.

We booked this resort online and frankly speaking I did not find it great while booking it. But by considering Aditya’s great choice while selecting our stay in Phi Phi Island in Thailand, I kept quite.

Because generally his accommodation choices are good.

Where Exactly Is Oceanic View Resort in South Goa?

Location wise its quite inside. From the Goa international airport too it takes one plus hour.

From Madgoan railway station it took us one hour to reach here by cab. I was not happy to pay 800 INR (after bargaining rate) to the cab driver.

The resort is in proper village of South Goa near Palolem beach. Renting a two wheeler to explore the nearby places is must here.

My First Impressions Of Oceanic View Resort

In monsoon(rainy season), it may not look like this. Due to rains they may not keep chairs outside. This picture is taken from Booking.com

Am I the only one who feels like the resort architecture is similar to that of Greece hotels? What do you think??

As we reached, we were welcomed by the care taker couple. The couple was quite friendly and talkative.

It was July month of rainy season. Due to off season almost entire resort was empty. Expect one room was occupied by 3 foreigners.

This is the actual picture taken by us. Well, if I had set the camera angel correctly I would have come a nice one. Never mind

Small reception area where you can sit and eat as well. If you like reading then there is a small section of books to check.

Same reception area, if you are lucky then you will be welcome with the two cats with ice cold beautiful blue eyes.

and a super friendly dog, who wants to follow you where ever you go.

How Was The Accommodation??

Its a small resort, with not more than 7-8 rooms. The best part is that the entire place is peaceful. Rooms are small (yes AC is there) and neat.

No rooms have any great views. Outside room there is a common area where you can chill, enjoy food or drinks.

small passage takes you to rooms on first floor.

Hot water and locker facility was available. We did not use the TV.

Also they provide laundry service. It was something 20-25 INR per cloth.

Swimming Pool:

It was small and clean. I did not enter in it. The area looked fresh and had so many coconut tress around.

There was no such lunch and dinner facility. But on asking they served breakfast. For breakfast we had to pay desperately as it was not in our package.

It was a simple breakfast Omelette , boiled eggs, juices, tea.

Aditya’s egg breakfast

My veg breakfast. The white thing is called as Ghavna (its made up of rice) and the other things is Potato vegetable.

If you have a two wheeler then you can go towards Palolem beach and find more options to eat.

Do I Recommend This Hotel??

Its a budget friendly hotel to stay in South Goa. Very much closed to Palolem beach. Accommodation was basic.

My overall experience was ok type. However if you are looking for a place far away from noisy north goa locations and if you do not wish to explore much, there this is your affordable hotel to stay in south goa.

The only thing is, there are not great places to eat near this hotel. You will have to go towards Palolem beach which takes another 15 minutes by two wheeler.

I stayed here for two nights. It was this caretaker couple because of whom I got a chance to visit Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary. What a amazing experience it was.

Alright. I hope you enjoyed this post. I had uploaded more picture from this Goa trip on Instagram and a vlog on YouTube.
